2016 Toyota Aygo 1.0L Petrol · RO16 EEM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to reactive repairs. While the most recent test on 30 December 2025 at 78,752 miles passed, it revealed advisories for both front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This follows a problematic result in January 2025 where multiple suspension components were flagged, indicating a period of deferred preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per annum. There is a notable gap of over 13,000 miles between December 2023 and January 2025, followed by nearly 9,000 miles in the final twelve months leading up to the latest test. The clean MOT demerits between 2021 and 2023 suggest the vehicle was well maintained during those years, but the recent advisories point to accelerated wear on rubber and metal components. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front-end suspension geometry. The January 2025 test identified worn front suspension arm bushes and anti-roll bar linkage pins, which are common failure points on this model. If these were not replaced immediately after that advisory, they will continue to cause play in the steering and uneven handling. Additionally, the edge wear on the front tyres noted in the latest record suggests a potential alignment issue or worn shock absorbers that requires immediate attention to prevent premature failure of new rubber.
